Great tires. Fast and reliable. Not a single puncture in six months. They last 4k miles rear and 3x front.
This is a excellent traction tire and wears well. It was a little difficult to mount on the rim.
Love these tires. They are fast and puncture resistant enough for every day use. Prefer these to the 5000s for training.
Excellent tires
This is the second 4000 I have purchased for the rear of my Trek Madone 4.7. The first tire gave me 1,700 miles of service and no flats. The second purchase wore out at 1,000 miles and I had two flats with the tire. I like the performance and handling of the tire and that is why I bought the second one. I have since replaced the 4000 with a 5000 hoping for better mileage and puncture resistance from the 5000.
I love these until I start getting flats....then I get a new one.
Replace an older set of tires with these I notice an improvement in the ride and handling overall a very nice tire. I purchased another set of these tires for my other road bike and will be installing this winter for the riding season next spring.
Great tire in terms of reasonable weight, great wear, grip and puncture resistance. Always easy to mount and although list price is a tad high, most retailers offer them both in multiples at a reduced price.

I have used these for 5 years, no issues
I like this tire because it is light and the price is right. Usually when I ride alone in the winter time I use Gatorskins. During the spring and summer when my schedule lines up better for group rides I kinda like the extra performance. It is probably not a whole lot but it makes me feel better ) and this is the tire I go with. It seems wrong to put a heavy Gatorskin on a really nice carbon clincher.
I have been riding these tires for years, with absolutely no issues - not even a flat. However, recently installed a new set on Zipp carbons just 200 miles ago and had a bead failure (bead material snapped completely, punctured 3 tubes before pinpointing the issue). These are excellent when they work - hopefully this is an anomaly. These are amazing value at the current pricing as they are being replaced with the 5000s.
Been riding Conti GP4000's for over 10 years without issue. Just put a new one on in June and had about 34 of sidewall separate from the bead after 400 miles. Riding on a paved trail, no debris hits, no warning...just went bad.
I've been riding on the same set of these tires for two seasons and they're still in good shape. They're light and have less rolling resistance than my previous tires. That means I can go faster downhills as well as climb better than before. However, you initially have to give up a bit of comfort until you get used to them. And I haven't had any flats with them so far. But that's probably more luck than anything else.
I use this on my commute in mostly dry and warm conditions. About 14 miles a day and no flats so far after about 150 miles. So far so good! )
Went from 32mm to these 28s. Noticed increase acceleration immediately
this has been my go-to tire for everyday ridiing
Ive gone through 2 tires, front and back do to small cuts that exposed the tube within the last month and a half. Had my share of flats as well. Too many to count. They just dont work for me. They roll great and are comfortable but just arent strong against flats and cuts.
My favorite tire for many years. Only knock is the easily cut side wall. Dont know how long they will be available now that the 5000 is out but I will continue to use them as long as I can buy them
I ride 100 miles a week on 3 different bikes and all 6 rims have the Conti 4000.
